Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

When Zhang San woke up in the morning, he felt a slight soreness in his lower back. These people are so wicked; making a good girl leave—did he think he was doing something to bring glory to the country?

Compared to Sing Tao Daily, Zhang San started shorting in Tokyo later. He partnered with three securities firms—Nomura, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs—to begin his short-selling plan.

The emergence of a large number of short positions accelerated the decline in stock index futures. However, a few days later, the market actually stabilized. But Zhang San took this opportunity to continue shorting heavily, ignoring their reactions.

Zhang San will be staying in Tokyo for quite some time, probably until April, May, or June; he plans to make just the first profit and then leave, as the regulatory agencies in the island nation are not to be trifled with.

He took this opportunity to make a quick profit and leave; but before that, he had one more thing to do, which was to discuss something with Morgan Stanley.

"Mr. Stephen, please state your request."

Morgan Stanley's president in Tokyo personally received Zhang San, who can be considered Morgan Stanley's biggest client in recent years, and whose current status is quite extraordinary.

"Last year, Sony acquired Columbia; at the time I didn't have the money, and I felt that it wasn't a good thing for an American company to be acquired by an island nation company."

This made the American pause for a moment. What? You're a new immigrant, and you still have feelings for America?

"Indeed, but they have plenty of money; they could buy North America."

The other person shrugged helplessly, but inwardly he didn't think much of it. However, what Zhang San said next really piqued his interest.

"I've heard that PANA is going to acquire MCA. I'd like to ask you to talk to the seller, as I'd also like to acquire MCA."

He didn't doubt whether Zhang and his companion had the money to acquire MCA; he was just curious why they wanted to buy MCA.

"Mr. Stephen, may I ask why you want to acquire MCA? You have no experience in this area."

Zhang San's face showed pain as he said, "I came to North America because of love, but my lover has left me."

Morgan Stanley had all the clients' information. Looking at Zhang San's expression, he immediately recalled Zhang San's information. Indeed, he felt that this Chinese man was a passionate lover, and it seemed that all Chinese people were passionate.

"It's truly regrettable. Please accept my condolences. Life must go on."

Zhang San nodded and continued, "My wife has a younger brother who dreams of becoming a movie star. He is her only brother, and I want to help him fulfill his dream."

"Oh~" The Morgan Stanley executive was stunned. Holy crap~ This reason was too damn powerful, leaving him speechless. But he still had to say something: "We understand your meaning. We will get involved in the PANA and MCA transaction. How much are you prepared to offer?"

"The smaller the amount, the better, but I will settle the payment in cash after the transaction is completed! As long as their finances are sound."

"I am very touched by your concern for your brother-in-law, and I will definitely make this deal happen for you."

I'm so incredibly touched. He's such a great brother-in-law in North America. I wish I had a female relative of marriageable age, otherwise I would have introduced her to him.

After Zhang San signed the agency agreement and paid a fee of ten million US dollars, the fee for the completed transaction will also be in the tens of millions of US dollars. Therefore, the other party is very attentive.

Just as Zhang San left, the manager on duty at the New York headquarters received news from Tokyo and became excited. This was the biggest acquisition this year, even bigger than Sony's acquisition of Columbia last year.

This is a merger and acquisition deal worth nearly four billion US dollars. Four billion US dollars would have covered their performance this year.

"I'll call my superiors right now." After calming down, the manager immediately muttered to himself, "I'll contact the people above and have them send out their best negotiation team."

Although we know there is a merger and acquisition deal worth more than four billion US dollars, we still need to stay calm and discuss it with our superiors.

In a small villa on Long Island, New York, the phone suddenly rang, waking a middle-aged white man who muttered curses under his breath. A young woman next to him also mumbled a few words, turned over, and went back to sleep.

He picked up the phone, lowered his voice, and began to curse: "...If you don't have a good reason, I'll make you regret it tomorrow..."

"I'm sorry, but I have some good news that I haven't told the other directors yet. Here's what happened..."

The middle-aged white man's eyes brightened as he listened, and he said, "You've done a good job. Let me think about it..."

Zhang San, far away in Tokyo, was unaware that his request had sparked much discussion; after all, a merger and acquisition deal exceeding four billion US dollars was a huge deal, and the fact that the other party was offering cash was very reassuring.

While Zhang San was monitoring the short selling of the Nikkei 225, someone contacted him.

"Hello, Mr. Stephen, I am... Well, we value your request... If anyone asks about you, we hope you can... I will remember your friendship..."

Zhang San listened for a while and quickly understood what was going on. He then smiled and said, "Of course, I also need your friendship. During the acquisition process, I'll need your help to save me money..."

He naturally wouldn't let such a favor slip by. After the other party hung up the phone, Zhang San revealed a playful smile. These people really know how to play games!

The next day, the middle-aged white director convened a board meeting in his own name, where he took all the blame upon himself.

"I got a commission through connections, and now the entire company needs to cooperate."

The other directors looked at him with some amusement, thinking to themselves, what kind of entrustment requires the cooperation of the entire group? The president, sitting in the center, gestured for him to continue.

"Stephen, the boss of New Time and Space Company, contacted me yesterday, preparing to entrust us with an acquisition deal, an acquisition deal even bigger than Sony's acquisition of Columbia."

He took all the blame upon himself, as if it were all his achievement. Of course, he had made preparations beforehand to ensure that these people could not find any loopholes.

"We signed a commission agreement with the Tokyo branch yesterday. He wants us to help him acquire MCA and has already paid a deposit of ten million US dollars. He needs our full support."

Everything else was fake, but the ten million dollar deposit had already been transferred to his account—that was real. The others cursed inwardly, thinking that this guy had really struck gold.

"In my estimation, it's at least six billion dollars, but we want to complete this acquisition as beautifully as possible; to show our strength to our old friends."
